Reds Vs. Astros 5-8-07

[Razor Shines]

From Trent's blog:


OK, here we go, The Natural gets a day off against Houston lefty Wandy Rodriguez

Freel cf
Phillips 2b
Junior rf
Conine 1b
Gonzales ss
Dunn lf
Encarnacion 3b
Ross 2b
Milton p

Isn't there an old saying about the definition of insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting a different outcome? I don't think I'm alone in thinking we've reached that point

'Stros:
Astros lineup:

Craig Biggio 2B
Morgan Ensberg 3B
Lance Berkman 1B
Carlos Lee LF
Jason Lane RF
Hunter Pence CF
Adam Everett SS
Brad Ausmus C
Wandy Rodriguez P

[Matt700wlw]

It won't matter....the bullpen will blow it anyway if Milton doesn't.

[Tom Servo]

Ross at 2B is a pretty funny/scary typo.

[Razor Shines]

Ross at 2B is a pretty funny/scary typo.

Well with Milton pitching the ball isn't going to get to the catcher that often anyway, so Jerry figured he'd go with 8 fielders instead. He probably would be used better standing on top of the left field wall though.

[BRM]

I love it when the game thread makes me chuckle after only four posts.

[klw]

Ross at 2B is a pretty funny/scary typo.

Craig Biggio inspired position change.

[BRM]

The team leader in Outs and GIDPs is hitting second again. I can't imagine why someone would want an out machine at the top of the order but I guess Jerry has his reasons.

[jesusfan]

what is this, the 33rd different line-up? Since this is the 33rd game I guess that makes sense....

[membengal]

We've seen this line-up in the last week.

[KronoRed]

Scrappy.

[smith288]

Hamilton not in? *yawn* Not watching.

[Matt700wlw]

Hamilton not in? *yawn* Not watching.

I can't get enough of watching him play either, but he does need SOME days off...he hasn't played probably 100 games in how long?

:)

[reds44]

Hurray for Edwin being in.

[RichRed]

We've seen this line-up in the last week.

Yep, this is the lineup from the last time we faced Rodriguez, a 7-5 loss on May 3.

Holding steady at 24 different lineups for the year.

[Jharb74]

It won't matter....the bullpen will blow it anyway if Milton doesn't.

Marty, and for that manner, many Reds fans will blow a gasket if that happens.

[ochoa30]

odds the reds make an error or two in the first inning making it harder for an already bad pitcher?

[DannyB]

We've seen this line-up in the last week.

I think the last time we saw this lineup I saw Freel trying to drive in Dunn.

[Marc D]

No Hamilton, Milton pitching, bullpen looming and yet I'll give away 3 some odd hours of my life to watch....and I call Narron dumb.

[WMR]

Wandy Rodriguez P

[keeganbrick]

I just wanna see Salmon get in the game if its a close one tonight.

[RedEye]

Ross at 2B is a pretty funny/scary typo.

All of the balls in play will go way over his head anyway. It's a win-win scenario, I think. For Ross, less crouching = more productivity with the bat.

[Matt700wlw]

Interesting tidbit....Castellini was on the field today during batting practice, and then went to the side to talk to Wayne Krivsky.

Not sure if that means anything ultimately, but there you go....dirt from the ballpark :D

[Dunner44]

Here's Fay's 2 cents on what Matt was talking about:


CEO Bob Castellini was on the field for batting practice, as far as I can tell it was his first appearance down there since Opening Day. He had an extended conversation with Wayne Krivksy.

I tracked Castellini down afterward, but he didn't want to talk.

"We've just got to come out of this and we will," he said. "Catch me when I'm feeling better."

No moves were made before the game. I'm told nothing is coming anytime soon. But check back after the eighth inning tonight.


...what's that last bit? In reference to Milton?

[RedRage]

Reference to our bullpen blowing up again i'd say.

[Marc D]

Here's Fay's 2 cents on what Matt was talking about:




...what's that last bit? In reference to Milton?

Dunno but thats hopefully the shot across the bow to the good ship Krivsky I've been hoping for.

[Matt700wlw]

Fay was on with Doc and said he feels this is a crucial start for Milton.

He also says he thinks this an ownership that would eat Milton's contract if it came down to it.

[Marc D]

thats good but I really hope this isn't an ownership that thinks Milton is the main issue right now.

[Matt700wlw]

thats good but I really hope this isn't an ownership that thinks Milton is the main issue right now.

It would probably be something down the road if this team keeps falling and it's time to start playing for the future.

For example, getting Homer up here in place of Milton, and eating Milton's contract if they can't find (or bribe) another team to take him.

There's also the Dumatrait's of the world that may be able to help in the bullpen...or whomever is proving their worth right now.

[Dunner44]

Reference to our bullpen blowing up again i'd say.

ah, that makes sense... I've been writing papers all day and consequentially, I've lost my powers of abstract reasoning.

[Falls City Beer]

I'll say this: if Castellini is putting Wayne's feet to the fire, I'll buy him a drink or 90.

Wayne needs to be chased around a bit with the broom.

[Matt700wlw]

I'll say this: if Castellini is putting Wayne's feet to the fire, I'll buy him a drink or 90.

Wayne needs to be chased around a bit with the broom.

90! You'll kill the man!

[reds44]

I really like B-Cast, and I don't think we'll be bad much longer with him at the top.

[Tommyjohn25]

I really like B-Cast, and I don't think we'll be bad much longer with him at the top.

Agreed. The one consistent thing I hear about Cast is that he has zero patience for losing...at anything.

[Screwball]

I really like B-Cast, and I don't think we'll be bad much longer with him at the top.

I really like B-Cast too (and his son Phil as well), but I find it a little odd that he's shunned from virtually any criticism for hiring Wayne Krivsky, a guy who is largely reviled here at RZ and across many different message boards.

[Matt700wlw]

Milton throwing a lot of pitches already...and it's only the first batter.

[reds44]

O/U 5 and 2/3rds for Milton.

[Reds Fanatic]

Biggio pops out to short on a 9 pitch AB.

[Degenerate39]

Biggio flys out to Gonzo. 1 out

[Degenerate39]

Ensberg strikes out. 2 outs

[Matt700wlw]

Marty: "That's what I'm talkin' 'bout right there! 4 pitches and see you later"

[Chip R]

Ross at 2B is a pretty funny/scary typo.


Yeah, he;d just drop the ball every time Gonzo or EE would throw it to him. ;)

[Degenerate39]

Berkman walks

[WMR]

crushed

[Matt700wlw]

How predictable was that?


2 run HR

[Reds Fanatic]

An upper deck bomb to left by Lee. 2-0 Astros.

[Degenerate39]

Lee homers.

2-0 Astros

[reds44]

That ball was hit into orbit.

Look out space station.

[CTA513]

O/U 5 and 2/3rds for Milton.

Under

[Redlegs23]

I actually had thoughts of a scoreless first inning out of Eric Milton until that pitch.

[Tom Servo]

:oops:

[reds44]

Worst pitch of all time.

I could have hit that out.

[Matt700wlw]

I actually had thoughts of a scoreless first inning out of Eric Milton until that pitch.

1st inning runs in 5 of his 6 starts.

[jfar23]

it was too high

[reds44]

I blame the defense.

Gotta jump Adam.

[Red in Chicago]

everyone knew that was coming, right...:bang:

[Degenerate39]

Looks like I might turn it early tonight.

Lane strikes out. 3 outs

[Reds Fanatic]

Milton continues his streak. He has given up 1st inning runs in all 5 starts.

[Tom Servo]

But we should be thankful for having Milton. :devil:

[WMR]

Man I don't think Lee could have asked for that pitch to be put in a better spot to absolutely crush it.

[CTA513]

I blame the defense.

Gotta jump Adam.

I blame the coaches for not having him in the right position in the left field stands.

:p:

[WMR]

But we should be thankful for having Milton. :devil:

Sadomasochism.

[Screwball]

Welsh (paraphrasing): "If Carlos Lee could put a ball on a tee for him to hit, he would've put it where Milton pitched it."

Atta boy, Milty. :bang:

[dsmith421]

Chronicle the atrocities:

66 starts, 73 HR allowed.

[Chip R]

I actually had thoughts of a scoreless first inning until Eric Milton pitched.


Fixed that for you. ;)

[Red in Chicago]

if you exclude all of milton's first innings, what would his era be...just curious

[reds44]

Good news:
Wandy sucks.

[fielder's choice]

At least he's consistent :milton:

[Degenerate39]

Hey FSN Cincy I want to see the play! Don't zoom in on the pitchers face as soon as Freel hits it.

[Strikes Out Looking]

I'd just like to thank Carl Linder and Dan O'Brien one more time for the biggest nightmare in a Reds uniform since....Schotzie.

[Matt700wlw]

Joe Nuxhall's mother has passed away at 98 years old.

:(

Condolences to Joe and family.

[reds44]

He really has no idea what the strikezone is.

[Matt700wlw]

I'd just like to thank Carl Linder and Dan O'Brien one more time for the biggest nightmare in a Reds uniform since....Schotzie.

At least Milton doesn't poop on the field.

[reds44]

Joe Nuxhall's mother has passed away at 98 years old.

:(

Condolences to Joe and family.
98? At least she lived a full life.
R.I.P

How old is Joe?

[dsmith421]

I'd just like to thank Carl Linder and Dan O'Brien one more time for the biggest nightmare in a Reds uniform since....Schotzie.

Schottzie stopped crapping on the field once the game started. Milton, not so much.

[RedRage]

At least Milton doesn't poop on the field.

You sure about that? Looks like crap to me.

[Strikes Out Looking]

At least Milton doesn't poop on the field.

No, his makes it to the stands on a regular basis.

[Matt700wlw]

98? At least she lived a full life.
R.I.P

How old is Joe?

74? 74? 76?

Something like that...

[Degenerate39]

BP grounds out to first. 2 outs

[Redlegs23]

At least Milton doesn't poop on the field.

You sure about that? It looked to me like he might have crapped his pants when Lee teed off on that pitch.

[Matt700wlw]

No, his makes it to the stands on a regular basis.

He throws poop on the field

[Razor Shines]

At least Milton doesn't poop on the field.

I'd rather he was paid 9 mil to pick up poop off the field than pitch.

[Degenerate39]

Griffey singles to right

[reds44]

Smoked.

[Degenerate39]

I'd rather he was paid 9 mil to pick up poop off the field than pitch.

If Marge was still the owner

[Razor Shines]

Unlucky that that bounced right to the RFer.

[Tom Servo]

What's gotten into Junior lately? I'd love to see him keep it up...

[reds44]

I loathe young body hitting cleanup.

I loathe George Grande.

[cincy jacket]

Good news:
Wandy sucks.


Bad News:
Milton + Bullpen for the Reds:help:

[GoReds44]

I wish we would bring up Dumatrait...I hate milton:(

[WMR]

Conine creates outs very professionally.

[Razor Shines]

What's gotten into Junior lately? I'd love to see him keep it up...

Nothing. He's still a good hitter. Last year he was just impatient. For all the other years of his career he was a fairly patient hitter, last year was a fluke.

[edogg07]

Ryan Freel needs to take ball four there and so does phillips the reds need to find a leadoff hitter next year

[Strikes Out Looking]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say if Milton doesn't make at least 5 innings tonight, this will be the last time we see him in these parts. Look for a back spasm or tendinitis to appear in the next few days.

[reds44]

Ryan Freel needs to take ball four there and so does phillips the reds need to find a leadoff hitter next year
Not to toot my own horn (who am I kidding), I said that in the offseason.

[Matt700wlw]

Pence triples.

I weep.

[Razor Shines]

Wow, watching Milton pitch makes me want to pick up a bat.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff triple for Pence.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Ryan Freel needs to take ball four there and so does phillips the reds need to find a leadoff hitter next year

And at what postion do you see this leadoff hitter playing? Unless he's a catcher it isn't likely to happen.

[BoydsOfSummer]

I'm just so, sooo tired of watching Milton. I almost want to just turn this game off. So tired.

[Red in Chicago]

Ryan Freel needs to take ball four there and so does phillips the reds need to find a leadoff hitter next year

i'd prefer they concentrate on the bullpen

[Razor Shines]

Just start drillin' dudes Milty, who cares at this point?

[Reds Fanatic]

That is a mistake by Edwin not to look the runner back. 3-0 Astros.

[Red in Chicago]

ee with another steller defensive play at third:help:

[reds44]

I want to know how that's Edwin's fault.

[Matt700wlw]

Milton's balls are getting railed.

[jfar23]

I'm not sure Edwin could have looked him back and still got the out.

[TheBurn]

Could he have held him at 3rd or gotten him at home?

[BoydsOfSummer]

He diudn't have a whole lot of time to look him back....but,yeah.

[Reds Fanatic]

He follows the other play with a great play.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Just a thought: Why doesn't Wayne offer to settle the Majic fiasco and not file a claim with the league by having Leatherpants take Milton off his hands. The Nats do need starting pitching and in their park, Milton may do ok.

[reds44]

That is a mistake by Edwin not to look the runner back. 3-0 Astros.
He only got the guy by a step. If he stops (he charged the ball), looks back, I doubt he gets the guy at 1st.

What a play by Edwin now.

[Matt700wlw]

Marty, and for that manner, many Reds fans will blow a gasket if that happens.

And they/we should.

[WMR]

After watching the replay, I don't think EE deserves any blame for that play.

That runner was trucking pretty good down to first, if Edwin had tried to turn and then throw I think he's safe.

[reds44]

After watching the replay, I don't think EE deserves any blame for that play.

That runner was trucking pretty good down to first, if Edwin had tried to turn and then throw I think he's safe.
Yep. Agreed.

[Razor Shines]

I want to know how that's Edwin's fault.

I think he's got to at least take a look there. Hopefully AGon was cover 3rd and they have had a play. But it was a tough play either way.

[reds44]

I think he's got to at least take a look there. Hopefully AGon was cover 3rd and they have had a play. But it was a tough play either way.
If he stops, and looks at the guy at 3rd, the guy at 1st would have been safe.

He was charging the ball, and would of had to literally stopped and turned his head. If he does that, the guy at first is safe.

[TheBurn]

Milton's balls are getting railed.

:eek:

[BoydsOfSummer]

Milton's balls are getting railed.

His balls and the rest of his body need to be railed. Railed outr of town.

[Razor Shines]

After watching the replay, I don't think EE deserves any blame for that play.

That runner was trucking pretty good down to first, if Edwin had tried to turn and then throw I think he's safe.

Yeah Maybe, but I'd save the run at this point. I think they might have had a play on Pence, and the next ball would have been a double play.

Tough call to make in an instant though, it wasn't horrible.

[RedsFanWC]

Ryan Freel needs to take ball four there and so does phillips the reds need to find a leadoff hitter next year

I agree but the problem is what position is a new leadoff hitter going to play next year? The outfield is pretty crowded, the middle infield isnt changing, and i dont know of a lot of leadoff hitters who play first, third or catcher.

[ochoa30]

no mistake by edwin. Everett can run. Welsh is way off as usual. The mistake was on dunn. How can you let a guy get a triple down the left field line?

[jimbo]

I think he's got to at least take a look there. Hopefully AGon was cover 3rd and they have had a play. But it was a tough play either way.

If he stops to look back, I don't think he has a chance to get the runner at first. Having to run in on the play is what made it so tough. A better throw to first may have given them a chance at Pence at home, not sure though. It was just a heads up play by Pence.

[WMR]

Astros clearly have standing orders to always take the extra base on balls hit to Dunn.

[jimbo]

no mistake by edwin. Everett can run. Welsh is way off as usual. The mistake was on dunn. How can you let a guy get a triple down the left field line?

It was a slow grounder right into the corner, with a speedy runner. :bang:

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez breaks his bat and grounds out to 3rd. 1 out.

[WMR]

Reds44 you should find some way to get in touch with George Grande and get him to start calling Gonzalez Seabass.

That'd be funny.

[reds44]

Reds44 you should find some way to get in touch with George Grande and get him to start calling Gonzalez Seabass.

That'd be funny.
Does he have an email address at FSN?

[jesusfan]

Dunn K's....

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

[WMR]

Good question.

[Matt700wlw]

Does he have an email address at FSN?

May be with the Reds....I'm not sure who cuts his checks, FSN or the Reds.

[reds44]

Reds have gone 3-2, 3 times on Wandy already and have nothing to show for it.

[WMR]

Aah, Edwin just got under that one.

[jesusfan]

Edwin flies to Pence...

[Razor Shines]

If he stops to look back, I don't think he has a chance to get the runner at first. Having to run in on the play is what made it so tough. A better throw to first may have given them a chance at Pence at home, not sure though. It was just a heads up play by Pence.

Again I'm willing to concede that he may not have gotten an out, unless it was on Pence at third. And like I said it's nothing that Edwin should get any grief over, it's just what I would have preferred but it's judgment call he's got to make in an instant.

And it could have gone the other way and he could have looked the runner back and not gotten any outs and if the next ball gets by him the inning is extended and it looks like a terrible decision.

[Reds Fanatic]

EE flies out to the warning track in center. 3-0 Astros after 2.

[reds44]

Just missed it.

[BoydsOfSummer]

[WMR]

president@JimEdmondsFanClub.com

[Reds Fanatic]

Good stop by Gonzalez but Biggio reaches on an infield hit.

[reds44]

Milton is getting rocked.

[Matt700wlw]

Every ball hit off of Milton has been scorched. Every single one of them.

[jesusfan]

Gonzo throws wide of Conine, but a good stop...

[jesusfan]

I just hope Milton is gone by the Pirates series, I don't wanna see him pitch... Maybe Bailey!!

[BoydsOfSummer]

biggio needs all of those he can get

[Reds Fanatic]

Another scorched ball. Ensberg lines out to Gonzo. 1 out.

[reds44]

Another line drive.

[jesusfan]

Yet another ball torched...

[Reds Fanatic]

Berkman lines a single to right center. 1st and 3rd.

[jesusfan]

Berkman singles to right.... 1st and 3rd, Milton blows, has that already been stated?

[reds44]

Get then pen warm.

This may be the end of Milton as a Red.

[WMR]

Ack! Milton has the deer in headlights look down to a tee.

[BoydsOfSummer]

I smell wood burning all the way up in Hamilton when Milton pitches.

[WMR]

Hahahahaha, ooh boy, that shoulda been a 3 run bomb.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lee pops out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[jesusfan]

Milton got lucky right there...

[reds44]

That was lucky.

Should be at least 6-0.

[Matt700wlw]

I'm about tired of watching this.

:bang:

[jesusfan]

ok... how hard is it to see that Milton sucks!

[Reds Fanatic]

This is sickening. Lane lines a double to left. 2nd and 3rd. 4-0 Astros.

[reds44]

lol

[jesusfan]

okay... Prediction: Milton is cut promptly after this game!

[reds44]

What's Marty saying?

[reds44]

That was another rope.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another line shot that EE makes a good catch on to end the inning. Release Milton now.

[WMR]

http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/bomber/b52-bomb.jpg

[Jr's Boy]

This is gonna be one ugly thread tonight.:bang:

[oneupper]

Narron should leave him in there to get rocked...save the bullpen for...wait...ahhhh

[Razor Shines]

okay... Prediction: Milton is cut promptly after this game!

No way. He may come up "injured" though.

[Matt700wlw]

What's Marty saying?

It's not his inning....

[reds44]

No way. He may come up "injured" though.
Ahh the always fun case of being bad.

[redsfan4445]

if milton stays on this team or in the rotation after this ugly game, i dont wnat to hear another Im a BASEBALL GUY" line by narron or the front office for that matter

[Jr's Boy]

Anyone had the new Mr Redlegs sunday?

[jesusfan]

Pence almost ripped Eddie's hand off... wow, this is worse than Joey Hamilton...

[Matt700wlw]

I should go back on vacation...

[dsmith421]

No way. He may come up "injured" though.

Injured is the new suck.

[redsfan4445]

i know one thing, there better be some heads rolling after this game and milton gone

[jesusfan]

I should go back on vacation...

unfortunately the Reds vs Pirates series is my vacation....

[Strikes Out Looking]

No way. He may come up "injured" though.

I believe I said that much earlier in the game thread. Now I believe he may really be injured because his teammates are taking bats to his head in the dugout. Nevermind, just my little fantasy.

[BoydsOfSummer]

We had a four game win streak on your last one. lol

[jimbo]

That was another rope.

They'd be better off buying an extension cord and rolling the pitching machine out there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ross lines a single to left.

[jesusfan]

Milton can bunt atleast....

[reds44]

They'd be better off buying an extension cord and rolling the pitching machine out there.
Cheaper.

[Reds Fanatic]

Milton sacrifices the runner to 2nd. 1 out.

[reds44]

Milton's still a better hitter then pitcher.

I remember him going yard on Sunday Night Baseball his first year as a Red, vs the Dodgers I believe.

He got rocked then too. I was like 15. Wow.

[Matt700wlw]

I will say he's definitely much better with a bat than a ball.

[redsfan4445]

milton can bunt, he cant pitch!

[RedsFanWC]

Ross broke over the mendoza line, hopefully he can stay there

[Reds Fanatic]

Freel lines a double to left. 4-1 Astros.

[reds44]

This game is far from over because Wandy sucks.

[BoydsOfSummer]

milton can bunt, he cant pitch!

Isn't that a Phil Collins tune?

[jesusfan]

Cheaper.

How do you insert a pic?

[Matt700wlw]

The Reds create a run

[reds44]

I'm still not a fan of Freel swinging 2-0.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to the pitcher. Freel goes to 3rd. 2 out.

[reds44]

Gotta stop batting BP this high in the order.

[jesusfan]

http://www.mrtoys.com/franklin/pics/Franklin-MLB-Pitching-Machine.jpg

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior walks. 1st and 3rd.

[reds44]

He wanted no part of KGJ.

[jesusfan]

Check out this great picture of Milton I found... http://tsa.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p947251dt.jpg

[Razor Shines]

What a shock Conine doesn't provide any protection for Jr.

[He's Dunn It]

Hey...

Didn't know who was throwing today and when I logged onto mlb.com to listen to the game I saw the linescore was 4-0 in the third inning. Before seeing anything else, I said to myself:

"Gee, I bet Milton is throwing today"

Can't we bring up a Double A crudballer to get his brains beat in instead of this guy?

Another long season is coming. Between this and watching the Rockies on TV here in Colorado, The Cheater breaking Aaron's record and baseball doing nothing, I long for the days of the Reds in the mid 80s. (Yes, I realize what a drastic statement that is...)

[Reds Fanatic]

Conine flies out to right. 4-1 Astros after 3.

[reds44]

Stop.
Batting.
Conine.
4th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Everett breaks his bat and flies out to left. 1 out.

[edogg07]

the reds dont have a cleanup hitter

[oneupper]

Good news: Ross has cleared the Mendoza line: .205

[WMR]

Man Milton's curveball is weak.

[jesusfan]

The Juggs machine strikes out Ausmus...

[Reds Fanatic]

Ausmus strikes out looking. 2 outs.

[WMR]

Even Ausmus is upset about not getting a hit versus Milton. :laugh:

[jesusfan]

Okay... Did Wandy just hit a ground ruled double???

[Reds Fanatic]

The pitcher Rodriguez doubles on the warning track in right.

[Matt700wlw]

Milton just gave up a ground rule double to Wandy.


Wow.

That should be the end right there.

[reds44]

ahahahahaha

[reds44]

he went the other way with that one too.

[Marc D]

I swear I just told my wife "watch him try and throw one by the pitcher and get drilled"

[BoydsOfSummer]

Griff can't cover RF either. Sad to see his greatness in the field fade.

[Dunner44]

the freaking pitcher.... i wish we had a hair tearing out smilie

[Big Klu]

An opposite-field double?! By Wandy Wodwiguez?! Geez....

[WMR]

Jeez George, how many times this series has he brought up Biggio going after 3000? 50 before the series ends? It's ENOUGH! :bang:

[CTA513]

I swear I just told my wife "watch him try and throw one by the pitcher and get drilled"

He must still think he can thow 94 mph.

GG and CW say no one plays 20 years anymore because they don't need the money.

Biggio grounds out to 2nd. 4-1 Astros mid 4th.

[reds44]

GG just compared Ryan Freel to Pete Rose.

That's uber funny.

[BoydsOfSummer]

If Milton stays all year, Biggio might get 3100 hits

Hey.. Felipe just homered to lead off the Nationals vs Brewers game...

[Matt700wlw]

Milton's first scoreless inning of the game.




That's painful.

GG just compared Ryan Freel to Pete Rose.

That's uber funny.

Not as funny as comparing Jim Edmonds to Jim Brown.

Im hoping that Livingston makes the trip out to the west coast, its his turn at louisville tonight

:lol:

I'd say it was one of their dumber, more inane conversations but they seem to outdo themselves every game.

[Dunner44]

Milton's already at his 65 pitch limit

Why does everyone want blame Jr. for everything. Milton is pitching and can't get the pitcher out and all of a sudden it is Griffey who can't play right field. Some of you are just stupid!!

[MrCinatit]

I am not at all against letting Milton stay in this game and letting him get completely pounded. Give the bullpen a rest.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez strikes out looking. 1 out.

[WMR]

Milton: 9 IP, 14 ER, 21 H?

Others of us are blind.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn doubles down the right field line.

[reds44]

Watching Dunner run makes me laugh.

Glad its not just me who hears this stuff.

Just to recap here...we've got no Hamilton tonight, Milton pitching, the pen, the losing streak and the GG/CW announcing team....and we are are sitting here enduring it. :eek:


We have a sickness.

[Big Klu]

Honestly, that's not a bad idea. He may be called upon to "take one for the team", especially since he handles the bat well enough that he isn't a total liability at the plate.

Never played baseball did you!!

[Marc D]

CW thinks all Dominican players know each other from winter ball.

[jesusfan]

Edwin looks locked in...

[jesusfan]

Eddie walks... Ross is due for a tater!
